Today the news is full of people, including police officers, sheriffs, police chiefs, and white women standing with those who are protesting racism in America, hugging them, walking with them, taking a knee in solidarity, or standing with linked arms between the peaceful protesters and the advancing police. On the other hand we have those who are bent on stirring up violence, wanting to meet a protest of police violence with more violence.
Inside those with Gemini strong in their chart there is this separation going on between our outer world and the inner world where we have been working to bring Love to all of our shadowy places. We understand that this Love has to flow out into the outer world. We know that it is needed now and yet we keep looking for an opening in the world, a place where all of our interior riches would be listened to and accepted. Hopefully we have had strong protectors who stood between our tender interior and the intensity of the world – we have called on our teachers and guides, our angels, done ritual, used protection practices, done whatever we could to be safe. Here is a protection practice that I use. You might like it, too.
For Psychic Protection – (The back of the neck is considered to be Joe’s Diner for hungry ghosts and this protects you from being their feast. It is especially good when entering hospitals, being around the elderly or going into a bar)
Make an upward pointing triangle using both thumbs and forefingers.
Blow Hu (Divine Essence) into it three times visualizing golden light filling it.
Keeping the triangle joined, move it over your head to the nape of your neck and visualize the light melting like golden butter into the back of your neck. Do this whole procedure three times.
We have been waiting for a signal that the time is right to let our inner beauty and wisdom come forth. We listen deeply for a signal, we watch the situation in our country wondering if the time has come. Geminis understand that we need to replace outdated ways of thinking, old agreements and ways that we have been embedded in belief systems with something that uplifts humanity and fulfills our obligation to Earth. Is it time to take a risk? Are we strong enough to withstand the response that may be directed our way? Perhaps. Maybe the preparation can never be complete. Let’s listen deeply and know that we are not alone. Blessed be!
